Southsides Patio Bar & Grill

We thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. All we're excellent. Although it was a special of the day, I would especially recommend the pulled pork tacos. The menu had a large variety of items offered. The beer selection on tap is limited to Budweiser products. The indoor seating is limited and funky in a good way. The outdoor seating is equally funky with great views of the Peace Bridge and the Niagra River. I can imagine that this would be a great place for a date in the evening when the bridge is lit up. Our server was efficient but a bit rough around the edges. Our drinks, including water, were never refilled.

Great location with a fantastic view from the patio. Plenty of parking for motorcycles in a separate area that we weren't aware of and there is plenty of street parking. Service overall: they do the best that they can as fast as they can but they are definitely understaffed. If you don't have over an hour for lunch during nice weather then rethink your choice so you aren't upset with the service; we were there approximately an hour and 45 minutes. First time there even though we've gone by many times, we found the pricing pretty average but be aware that sandwiches/wraps/burgers etc do not come fries so there is an upcharge for pretty much every meal. Yes the food is great, portions are smaller compared to many other places but there is no waste and you still leave full. That $15 wrap becomes $18.50 and so on. Basically you are paying the extra for the location/view. That being said, it was very enjoyable and the food we had was very unique and tasty. For locals I could see this being an amazing spot. They were even setting up a band on a late Sunday afternoon. We will go back but plan our timing better now that we know that the very friendly servers are great but dont have enough help. Roast beef and cheddar on a bun was excellent, buffalo wrap was grilled or pressed which made it unique and very tasty. The burgers were also good, the sweet potato fries and the fresh cut fries were tasty. As mentioned before, we will be back.

Been here a couple times from over the border and this was the first time out on the patio. Great atmosphere, staff is very friendly. Nice spot for a quick bite to eat

What a shame. This was going to be a 5 star review until something bad happened. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and the back patio was a great spot to see the Niagara River. However it was windy and one of the stand up metal bars blew over and fell on our table. It narrowly missed my wife's head. Easily a concussion if it hit us. We had to go inside, as did the other patrons. I explained to the waitress what happens and she said "it fell over again?". Again? Clearly the owner has not taken safety precautions and secured the bar. Does someone need to really get hurt before the owner gets sued and finally deals with the problem? The waitress had to get a bag of ice for my wife's hand that was hit. Can you imagine going out for food and a huge piece of furniture falls on your table?

We tried this spot for the first time, and it was delicious. The food was so fresh! The crab cakes are definitely a must try along with the stuffed peppers! 😋 they both were dishes that were unique and had their own kick to it. The grilled fish tacos were also a healthy, tasty option as well. Edit: My only recommendation is to go when the chefs are present and serving, if you are going for their food.
